AidKit is a public benefit corporation building the infrastructure that enables governments and nonprofits to deliver cash assistance quickly and with dignity. Since its founding in 2021, AidKit has distributed more than $400 million to over 110,000 households across 27 states, establishing new standards for rapid, targeted aid during disasters, economic shocks, and major policy transitions.
Our differentiator is speed without sacrifice. Where legacy systems take months to launch, AidKit can deploy complete aid programs in hours while maintaining rigorous fraud protection and compliance. Unlike most SaaS platforms, we build for the margins—designing systems that work for excluded workers, unhoused neighbors, low-income families, and communities facing compounding crises.
We're AI-native infrastructure for an unpredictable world. As natural disasters and economic shocks accelerate, communities need systems that adapt in real-time while preserving the inherent dignity of people in their times of need.
AidKit is hiring a fully remote (US-based) Public Sector Partnerships (Sales) Director. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis, with priority consideration for applications received by February 28, 2026.
This role reports to the Chief Revenue Officer and focuses on new business development. The role is ideal for a proven sales leader who has built and managed high-performing teams in the government technology space. If you're someone who has consistently driven community impact and revenue growth while developing sales talent, this role might be for you.
Expanding Government Partnerships:
Cultivate deep relationships with state and local governments; deepening AidKit’s position as a trusted technology partner for disaster relief and social safety net modernization
Navigate complex government procurement, leading RFP responses and proposal processes with expertise in government buying cycles and compliance requirements (supported by a seasoned Proposal and Capture Manager)
Building & Developing a High-Performing Team:
Recruit, coach, and retain top sales talent, building a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement
Empower Account Executives to prospect effectively, execute strategic account plans, and deliver meaningful results for government partners
Foster team performance through regular coaching, skill development, and creating an environment where team members thrive and grow
You bring 5+ years of experience in public sector technology sales and transformation, with demonstrated success leading and managing sales teams to exceed revenue targets
You have established relationships across state and local government entities, including CIOs, procurement officials, agency heads, and program managers
You understand government procurement cycles, contract vehicles (NASPO, OMNIA, Carahsoft, etc.), and the complexities of multi-stakeholder decision-making environments
You excel at recruiting, coaching, and developing sales talent, fostering a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and goal attainment
You bring experience selling digital services, workflow automation, or SaaS platforms that modernize government operations and improve service delivery outcomes
You're equally comfortable coaching account executives as you are rolling up sleeves to close complex deals
You communicate with clarity and influence across all levels, from team members to C-suite executives and government partners
Most importantly, you care deeply about the mission of direct aid and supporting anyone who needs help, no matter where they come from
Not required, but bonus points if you have:
Experience in disaster relief, public benefits, cash assistance, or helping government serve vulnerable populations
Background in government, especially eligibility systems, or social services administration
Experience selling to large county workforce and human services agencies
